Stan Bowman’s decision to lock in Trent Frederic for eight years at $30.8 million is raising eyebrows in Edmonton. With the Oilers struggling for consistency and now over the salary cap, this long-term deal is being called out as a major misstep—especially as Frederic’s impact has been underwhelming and injuries have limited his play. As the trade deadline looms and roster needs grow, fans are questioning if this contract could hurt the team’s playoff hopes. What do you think: was this a necessary risk, or a costly error that’s holding the Oilers back? #Sports #IceHockey #Oilers
